Eventing

Canberra International Horse Trials kicks off tomorrow, with Shane Rose and The Bandit back to defend their CCI4*S title.

A seven-time Burghley starter and Hall of Fame inductee, Happy Times represented Australia at the highest level with rider Sam Griffiths.

Australian equestrian legend, Chris Burton, has returned home with the goal of giving back to the Australian equestrian community. His wealth of experience and expertise will be instrumental in shaping the next generation of top riders and horses, ensuring that Australia remains competitive on the world stage.

Australian eventer Rebecca Braitling has won a CCI4*S in California with Caravaggio ahead of their CCI5*L start in Kentucky next month.

Entries also feature six of the world’s top 12 eventing riders and athletes from seven countries.

Two Australian riders are among the 86 combinations set to compete at Badminton Horse Trials CCI5*L this year (7-11 May).

Andrew Cooper has enjoyed a great start to the season in Tamworth, winning the CCI4*S on his dressage score with Sharvalley Thunder.
